Pictures of the denizens of Upper Broadway, working and living on the thoroughfare that is the heart of New York for me.

Transcendental Color

aei4@columbia.edu (Adam Isler Photography) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:34:49 GMT

These photos represent the personal style I'm cultivating. Urban images (mostly in New York) with an abstract quality not, by and large, created in Photoshop. Most of them include an intrusion of the natural into the urban, the random into the ordered and square or haze and mist obscuring the straight and rational. Often the abstraction comes from shooting too close to the subject to see immediately what it is, creating a trompe l'oeil effect. I'm seeking the immanent and transcendent within the mundane, the photographic equivalent of the Joycean epiphany.

Here's the gallery for frequent, if not daily, new photos of interest; those that aren't necessarily of portfolio or gallery quality but are worthy, nevertheless, of posting.

Sidewalks of NY

Because the camera frame is rectangular, any image with lines parallel or perpendicular to the frame automatically has a composed look to it. That makes these images feel a little like cheating - and yet, pace Mike Johnston who prefers some skew, I find them formally pleasing.
